Subscriber Parameters

Sq

is a sequence number, which eases selection of a line on the screen to change. To move to another line, press [A] and enter the sequence number.

Local Sub

is the calling address used by the local device. A Subscriber ID (see page 11-8) must also be configured for this address.

Remote Sub

is the called address used for calls by the local device. A Subscriber ID (see page 11- 8) must also be configured for this address.

If the BSC port is one end of a connection to a logical X.25 port in the SmartSwitch, this address must match a Subscriber ID configured for the logical port.

Atcl

(Autocall) causes a BSC device to automatically the remote end when it becomes active.

Rtytm

is the Retry Timer, which is the time between autocall retries.

Rty #

is the Retry Number, which determines the maximum number of times an autocall will be sent. Note that a value of 0 allows indefinite retries.

Del

lets you delete the remote subscriber that is currently highlighted. You will be prompted: Delete "n," where "n" is the sequence number. Pressing [Y] will delete that line and move all entries below it up one sequence number.
